The Lamborghini Miura and Countach set the standard for the definitive supercar layout. These cars had big V12s mounted in the middle of the car and that design is still used today by Lamborghini, Ferrari and other automakers for top-tier supercars. Anyone with a driver’s license can flip the right switches and make a 12-second pass in a supercar, but these Lamborghinis are from a different era. Driving them requires muscle, precision and constant attention.

This Car video shows what it’s like to drive these legends. Hardly practical or ergonomic, these boisterous cars were designed to impress and decades later, they still do.
